Why It Matters
After the night strikes of the Russian Armed Forces on September 30, the Ukrayinska Pravda publication assessed the state of the Ukrainian energy system before winter.
Ukraine will not be able to protect the energy system in the coming winter. This recognition was made by the publication Ukrayinska Pravda (UP) after the strikes of the Russian Armed Forces on the night of September 30.
“Everyone understands perfectly well that it is impossible to completely protect the energy system from attacks. Therefore, the scenario in which it will be possible to manage without interruptions in light, heat or water in winter is virtually excluded,” the article says.
The publication indicates that a significant part of Kyiv’s internal generation is no longer functioning. “So the main question this winter is not whether there will be problems. They will be,” states Ukrayinska Pravda.
